In response to Sylvain LANDRY, SL-Week 1: Moi.

I am most honoured to be invited by Sylvain Landry to participate in his weekly photo challenge. Thank you! And I am taking up the challenge!

***

When I read Landry’s blog, I am most touched by the fact that he translates every single word to English. I understand how challenging or at least how time-consuming it is to translate each and every idea because I have done so, so many times myself (outside of this blog). I respect Landry for this.

Also, I find that Landry’s photography is often provocative. His photos question, and question hard.

In addition, Landry posts tips on photography which are insightful; make me rethink how I take photos.

“Moi” is French for “Me”.

What defines me?

Fire and water at once.

I am nice, and I am not.

I am courageous, and I am timid.

I am cheerful, and I am moody.

Think of me as a Gemini – sign of The Twin.

Two personalities.

I relish in both.

The excitement.

And the tranquil.

Behaviours seem to contradict.

Two personalities in one.

Like fire and water at once.
